Topic: Langham or not??? - ID = L Zanetti

[rosieposie]

Thank you all once again :hi:......I am so please they are as nice as I thought.....trouble is you will all want them now! :cry:

I think I have got another piece somewhere in my huge collection so I will have a look....yes, I have had to pack some away, but can't bear to part with them!!

So that leads me on to the next question.....any ideas about who makes really good display cabinets to take a collection of about 500 pieces!!!!?

[Hourglass]

It has occurred to me about displaying in cabinets but to display paperweights I think that you would have to build one from reinforced concrete and thick bulletproof glass in order to take the weight! Other glass items are not so problematic.

just for interests sake - and should anyone not know what the Langham marks/labels look like.     Unfortunately, I don't have examples of both variations of Paul Miller's signature - and I assume that this one is Rosie's more recent 'gentle script'.      Tragically, the 'Thrush' has some damage to its beak (not my fault).

Thank you Paul, yes you are correct that is what I term his gentler script and I think it is a later date....it may be the constraints of the engraving tool used at the time. I have examples which I will add and also a picture of the acid etched glass blower from much earlier pieces.
BTW I don't know if you have noticed, but the Dog & Duck (sounds like a pub :24:!!) have been de-listed   :cry: :cry:
Probably my fault as I told the seller what they were....others as well I would think. I do hope he relists, as I had bids on them!!
I will get onto listing those pics anyway. :sun:

Rosie  -  have to admit that I know very little about Langham - full stop.     Oddly, I come across vey little in my jaunts around the charity shops and boot sales - possibly not my cup of tea anyway - and I try not to collect birds and animals if I can help it, although the Thrush is attractive.   Hence for me the Dog and Duck really is a pub :24:  -  however, look forward to your additional pics.

[rosieposie]

Well my pics are too big to upload, so I have sent them to Anne and asked her to kindly list them for me....

You rarely find Langham Glass in Charity shops unless they are the chipped ones!! See you at the Dog & Duck then?:cheers:

The dog and duck are Murano -- Licio Zanetti. Most people probably already knew who he was, but with the further talk of Langham, I thought I should point it out that he is Muranese.

[Paul S.]

Anita - sorry if I was muddying the waters.  Apologies.

Rosie  -  Are you not using Ifanview to re-size your pictures.?   Quite simple really.

[rosieposie]

Well, I haven't got Ifanview, but lets see if these work.......... :X:

Never tell a seller what something is if you're bidding  :wsh: Just keep your fingers crossed no one else does.
